Cookbooks

Emeril Lagasse, Susan Spicer, and Frank Brigtsen head the list of Louisiana’s finest chefs. They will teach you some of Louisiana’s best kept secrets, how to create Louisiana cuisine and take it to new levels. New Orleans and the surrounding region are famous for their fine food and distinctive cuisine. Part of it can be attributed to ingredients‚Äîplump shrimp, tasty crawfish (now available nationwide), regional sausages like andouille, fresh seafood. Part of it comes from the melding of traditions, French, African, and Spanish influences.

We take the cameras into their kitchens around the world. Not only do we bring along the producers, directors, cameramen, light & sound personnel, but we bring a still photographer and a culinary director who take notes and obtain the chefs recipes for a companion cookbook. Once back in our New Orleans headquarters, our culinary experts test the recipes multiple times and our cookbook authors start writing the cookbook. Our graphic artists begin the book layout, all while the television department completes the series so that the book and shows can be released simultaneously. Recently we abandoned the print media including the magazines, although some issues and books are still in print and can be purchased here. Out of print issues are being digitized and will be available to download later through Amazon.com.
